I took some photos of the cute outfits while I was at ALT. This is the very charming Shayna Roosevelt of Room Creative. She has one of those smiles that starts with her eyes.

I’ve had lots of requests for a maternity Mighty Closet, but no willing pregnant friends so far. Fortunately Gabrielle Blair, one of the Alt Summit organizers, just posted her five favorite maternity outfits on Design Mom, so she did the work for me. Have a look at Gabby’s closet, and if you’re looking for more inspiration, head over to the Wardrobe Remix maternity pool.

I just got back from Alt Summit and realized I never had a chance to tell you about CES (that’s the Consumer Electronics Show for those of you who never had soldering kits as kids). Contrary to all my friends assertions, I loved it. Most of that story is over here. But there was a lot I didn’t have room to mention.

First, there aren’t a lot of women there.

Wait. There were a few.

But! There were products for women, subtly displayed.

Actually that brooch USB key is killer. I’m pissed I didn’t buy that. Other stuff I left behind:

A “personal humidifier.”

A retro microphone from Blue Microphones. I want to start a podcast just so I can sit in front of one all day with my hair in barrel curls.

A tiny karaoke machine you can take anywhere. Isn’t that a subway scene in a bad rom-com waiting to happen? I know! Screenwriters, start your engines.

A Holga Stereo and slide viewer that lets you see your photos in 3-D.

This super basic backpack from Isis would be great for travel.

And a set of creepy plastic hands to hold all my new gadgets.

There’s a lot more cool stuff in my Flickr stream, if you feel inclined to have a look.

Tomorrow, let’s talk about ALT.

Bon Appétit just published an interview with me on their site, A Mighty Girl’s Quest to Taste 1,000 Kinds of Fruit. Isn’t that cool? I think so too. Go have a look.
